MIRI, Nov 4 — A local pastor incurred losses amounting to RM430,000 after he was deceived into joining an investment scheme that was promoted on social media.Sarawak Police Commissioner Datuk Mohd Azman Ahmad Sapri said the Sarawak Commercial Crime Investigation Department received a police report lodged by the victim, a man in his late 40s, on Friday.
“Following the steps shown on the advertisement, he was later included in a WhatsApp group, and dealt with a woman named ‘Yuki’, who said she would help in the purchase of the stocks.“Interested victims then placed their ‘investments’ via a web link,” said Mohd Azman in a statement, adding that those joining were each promised an initial return of 10 per cent within a week after having invested.
“He then realised he had been cheated when ‘Yuki’ asked him to make an additional payment of RM300,000, when he only made a profit of around RM3,000 from the investment,” he said.In view of this, Mohd Azman advised the public to only invest through the legitimate platforms registered with Bank Negara Malaysia and the Securities Commission of Malaysia .
